Chapter 261: Pond Distraction
The men's seats are set up in the east courtyard, and there is only a distance from the west courtyard, and there is no wall in the middle, and a canal is built as the division of the east and west courtyards.
Xuanyuan Che sat on the chair boredly, and the people below occasionally complimented him, and he didn't deal with it lightly, his eyes quietly looked at Zhu Jiu from time to time, and seeing that she coped with it easily, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
used to be in the General's Mansion with Zhu Jiu, when he was still a male favorite, Zhu Jiu hated to deal with such occasions the most, and they were all left to him to solve.
Unexpectedly, now that the two of them are in high positions, Zhu Jiu is like a fish in water when he does this.
It just so happened that Wei Changshou sandwiched a piece of crystal hibiscus cake for him, this crystal hibiscus cake smelled of a fragrance of hibiscus flowers, but it tasted sweet but not greasy, and it melted in his mouth, so he took a look at it, and then said, "Does the queen have this pastry?"
Wei Changshou and Wei Changfu are two brothers, but their appearance is more mellow, and they smiled when they heard this: "Back to Your Majesty, this pastry is for your exclusive royal use, and if the queen wants to eat it, you have to reward it."
That was said, but when Wei Changshou lowered his eyes, there was some disapproval in his eyes.
In fact, His Majesty has given the queen a lot of rights, if the queen really wants to eat these things, isn't it just a matter of words?
In others, this is probably a thing that goes against common sense, and it is naturally punishable, but when it comes to the queen mother, she just wants the moon in the sky, and everyone will not think that there is anything excessive.
Because she does have the strength and status, and someone deserves to do it for her.
Xuanyuan Che listened, and really frowned, and then asked Wei Changshou to personally prepare a plate of crystal hibiscus cake, and prepared all the pastries used by other emperors and gave them to Zhu Jiu.
Afraid that she would be tired of eating these things, he also specially asked people to reward a roast suckling pig in the past, this roast suckling pig is the best job of the chef here in the summer palace, the roasted suckling pig is fragrant and crispy, and it is the most delicious.
On the side of the women's seat, everyone's attention was originally on the housekeeper lady of these performances, but because Xuanyuan Che asked people to send rewards to the queen from time to time, for a while, these people's attention was unconsciously attracted by Zhu Jiu, and the table in front of her couldn't put these foods, so they specially put these imperial meals on the relocated coffee table, and if there were outstanding talent performers, they would give these pastries out on a plate.
It is also a very face-saving thing to say, and the atmosphere of the scene is more lively.
Halfway through, a little eunuch poured wine on Zhu Jiu's side, but somehow happened, her hands trembled, and the wine soaked her clothes.
This is Qinglian Palace, which is the coolest, even if the sun is scorching outside, the cold here will still make people feel cold.
The people around were taken aback, and hurriedly got up and came over to persuade them.
Zhu Jiu didn't care, after waving off the little eunuch who kept kneeling and begging for mercy, she turned out to change her clothes, in addition, she didn't sweep the temperament of these people, and asked Wei Changfu to watch the scene here, she saw that Liu Baolin had a lively personality, so she asked Liu Baolin to stay and preside over on his behalf.
With Wei Changfu by his side, Liu Baolin didn't have to do anything at all, he just felt that this job was easy and had a long face.
Suddenly, there were a lot more people around her, and they all expressed their envy for her.
Liu Baolin actually didn't expect the queen to be so generous, but since she handed over the errand of entertaining guests to her, she would definitely do a good job.
Thinking so, Liu Baolin also did the same, striving not to make mistakes and not to lose the queen's face.
Hanmei followed Zhu Jiu all the way to the other palace, but except for the Qinglian Palace, she stopped and walked leisurely in the bamboo forest.
This summer palace is built on the mountainside in the western suburbs, not to mention the bamboo forests around, there are many other vegetation, and the air is full of refreshing plant fragrance, which is much better than the air soaked in incense in the palace.
Zhu Jiu stretched out his arms, took a deep breath, squinted at the mottled light and shadow that was scattered, and leaned comfortably against the railing of the lotus pond next to him, so that the wind was blowing here.
Hanmei has
A little worried, "Master, let's go back to the palace to change our clothes first, if you are here to blow the wind, what if you get sick?"
This is a summer palace, which is not as convenient as the imperial palace to keep warm, and it is necessary to pay extra attention and be careful when staying here.
Zhu Jiu is not the same thing, she, a slave and maid, has to give some attention to the master, as soon as she finished saying this, she planned to go back to the palace to bring Zhu Jiu a set of clothes.
In fact, Zhu Jiu's suit of clothes is just soaked with the outside material, because the wine she drinks is colorless, and it will not leave any marks on the clothes, and it can't be seen after drying, Zhu Jiu doesn't want to be so troublesome, blowing the wind and basking in the sun here, and the clothes will be like brand new after a while.
It's just that before she could stop Hanmei, Hanmei hurried back to the palace, leaving her alone waiting here.
Zhu Jiu looked at her departing back with some amusement, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This girl, she really knows how to worry more and more.
It's still as free and easy as it used to be.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a voice from the pond, very anxious, "Help! Come! Help!"
Listening to this voice, the other party was not very fluent in Central Plains, not like a person from the Central Plains, Zhu Jiu thought of Lan Zhaoyi, who had met at the banquet.
In the entire harem, only Lan Zhaoyi is not from Xuanyuan Kingdom, but a little princess who came from Loulan in the Western Regions to kiss.
She spoke to the maid next to her, and the accent seemed to be like this.
Zhu Jiu toe lightly, a little light work, after a while rushed to the place for help, only to see a little maid struggling violently in the middle of the pond, the other hand was still holding something tightly, the body was sinking deeper and deeper, this pond was full of silt, if it wasn't stuck, it is estimated that the water only to her neck could not help her at all, and the other party would have already gone ashore.
Nana hadn't found out that Zhu Jiu had seen them, and at this moment she was so anxious that tears came out, but she didn't know why, she kept calling for help, but no one around found them.
This caused a wave of despair to rise in Nana's heart.
Suddenly, a wisp of wind hit, she vaguely heard a sentence "Don't be afraid", the voice of the person who came to speak was very calm, like a beam of light to dispel the haze in Nana's heart, she subconsciously raised her head and went, and her shoulder fell into the hands of a slender jade in the next second.
The other party obviously didn't move much, but just a little force, and brought her out of the pond.
Nana's face changed, and she didn't have time to pay attention to herself, so she hurriedly pointed to the pond and said, "Not good! My mother is still inside!"
"Please, save my mother! Please!"
Nana knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Jiu, her heart trembled, she never thought that this Zhu Jiu would be the one who saved her!
It is rumored that the female king of Hades can only kill people, not save people?
